The 1.7 turbo diesel wasn’t much better. Good for its time. Gutless and shit by modern standards.

I drove a version of this engine in my dad’s Peugeot van and merging into traffic was terrifying. Dated is definitely the word, dangerous and obsolete would be a couple of others. An absence of power is one thing, I drove aircooled VWs for years, but the sheer reluctance of a NA diesel is rotten.

The 1.9 was better in the bx that the pug as the bx is alot lighter, due to plastic panels.

There are kits to turbo the 1.9, intercooler will be on top of the engine and uses the bonnet liner to get air flow to the intercooler.
